The main result of this paper is a general central limit theorem for distributions defined by certain renewal type equations. We apply this to weakly self-avoiding random walks. We give good error estimates and Gaussian tail estimates which…

We prove error bounds in a central limit theorem for solutions of certain convolution equations. The main motivation for investigating these equations stems from applications to lace expansions, in particular to weakly self-avoiding random…

A law of large numbers and a central limit theorem are derived for linear statistics of random symmetric matrices whose on-or-above diagonal entries are independent, but neither necessarily identically distributed, nor necessarily all of…

In this paper we provide an asymptotic theory for the symmetric version of the Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence. We define a estimator for this divergence and study its asymptotic properties. In particular, we prove Law of Large Numbers…

Recent work has proposed the use of a composite hypothesis Hoeffding test for statistical anomaly detection. Setting an appropriate threshold for the test given a desired false alarm probability involves approximating the false alarm…

We prove two theorems related to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for Martin-L\"of Random (MLR) sequences. Martin-L\"of randomness attempts to capture what it means for a sequence of bits to be "truly random". By contrast, CLTs do not make…

For a uniform process $\{ X_t: t\in E\}$ (by which $X_t $ is uniformly distributed on $(0,1)$ for $t\in E$) and a function $w(x)>0$ on $(0,1)$, we give a sufficient condition for the weak convergence of the empirical process based on $\{…

Combining cross-section and time series data is a long and well established practice in empirical economics. We develop a central limit theory that explicitly accounts for possible dependence between the two data sets. We focus on common…

We deduce sufficient conditions for the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) in the Lebesgue-Riesz space L(p) defined on some measure space for the sequence of centered random variables satisfying the strong mixing (Rosenblatt) condition. We…

We prove a variant of the central limit theorem (CLT) for a sequence of i.i.d. random variables $\xi_j$, perturbed by a stochastic sequence of linear transformations $A_j$, representing the model uncertainty. The limit, corresponding to a…

In [Kozma-Toth, Ann. Probab. v 45, pp 4307-4347 (2017)] the weak CLT was established for random walks in doubly stochastic (or, divergence-free) random environments, under the following conditions: 1. Strict ellipticity assumed for the…

We prove a central limit theorem for $\log|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ with respect to the measure $|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^{2k}dt$ ($k,m\in\mathbb N$), assuming RH and the asymptotic formula for twisted and shifted integral moments of zeta. Under the…
